What they didn’t say is that the person who screwed up will be fired*.

Now why doesn’t that happen at your office? Why don’t incompetent people get fired when they screw up at your office? Why do they instead get given a pass and then the task of fixing everything is passed on to you?

No one knows. But it’s maddening, and it will continue happening until the end of time.

Just don’t fuck up. That amnesty? It doesn’t extend to you. If you screw up, you most definitely will be fired… and blackballed… and never work in the industry again… and be out of work for a very long time, until you swallow your pride and go work in retail.
